[Heeplist] 2014

[Dave Crookham]

I've never been a huge COC fan. They have some good songs but never seemed 
to put it all together. I saw them open for Metallica once and they did put 
on a solid show. Guitarist/vocalist Pepper Keenan left about 10 years to 
concentrate on his other band (Down with Pantera's Phil Anselmo), but 
supposedly he and COC are getting together for a new CD and a tour this 
year.

Dave do you like Corrosion of Conformity?  I heard a song the other day on
Sirius by them called "Clean My Wounds"  the vocalist reminded me slightly
of Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy.
